Chapter 496: Chapter 499: Meeting the Divorce Lawyer
After the secretary led Lily Gray in, she closed the door and left.
“Sit…” Blake Graham pointed to the swivel chair in front of the desk.
Lily muttered to herself, sure enough, it was a person with the last name Graham; the whole study room, besides having green plants, had other decorations that were basically all white.
As she walked over and was about to sit down, Blake suddenly stopped her, “Wait, are you pregnant?”
At this point, although Lily wasn’t fat, she was already sixteen weeks pregnant.
Her belly was slightly showing, and if she wore a loose dress, one could still see it with careful observation.
“Yeah.” She nodded her head.
“Then don’t sit here, go sit on the sofa.”
Blake stood up after saying that.
Unconsciously, Lily’s gaze swept towards his trousers.
Fortunately, he wasn’t wearing white trousers on his lower body.
Although the trousers were khaki, at least they weren’t white anymore.
Blake seemed to notice Lily’s gaze and casually hooked the corner of his lips, following her to sit on the sofa.
The two sat down, facing each other.
The sofa was soft and comfortable to sit on.
After Lily sat down, she sank into it.
“I’ve already heard about your basic situation from Diana.”
In fact, Diana only told him that there was a woman who had been cheated on by her husband and was heading to court.
The woman’s husband might have been keeping a mistress, but she didn’t tell him any other specifics.
If it wasn’t for his caution in asking for Lily Gray’s name and checking some internal information, he might have thought this was just a common divorce case and dismissed it.
Blake Graham had always enjoyed challenges; the more impossible the case seemed, the more he liked to take it on.
That’s why he deliberately told the case to Blake.
It was because he had deduced that the young master would definitely stand by Lily Gray’s side.
Blake was extremely eager to fight a fierce battle against the Lucas family’s lawyer, Joshua Fenton.
As long as the young master also supported this case, he could show his full capabilities.
Blake’s mind raced, thinking a lot, but on the surface, he was still speaking calmly.
“Basically, after assessing it, I can help you with this case. Currently, the probability of winning is 15%.”
“15%…” Lily looked at Blake incredulously, “Why is it so low?”
Blake adjusted his glasses, “Because your husband is Aidan Lucas. Even if he was originally planning to divorce, someone with that much power wouldn’t want the demand for divorce to come from his wife and end up being successful. And…”
Blake’s gaze fell on her belly.
“Now, you two have a child. I didn’t know that beforehand, but if we consider it, the chance of winning should be reduced by 3%, so the current probability of winning is 12%. Unless, you don’t want the child.”
“No, the baby must be with me!”
“Alright. Now, the probability is 12%,” Blake wasn’t surprised by Lily’s determination.
Most mothers wouldn’t be willing to give up their own flesh and blood.
“Mr. Graham, a 12% chance of winning is too low. If I go to court with only a 12% chance of winning, then what’s the point? I know your reputation in the industry, and I’m sure there must be a way for you to help me, right?”
Before coming, she had done her research.
Blake’s reputation was not prominent in Eastonia, but in Europe, it was quite impressive.
He probably only came to Eastonia in the last six months, so his reputation hadn’t made it out yet.
“Of course.” Blake nodded. He also appreciated clients like Lily Gray who understood their lawyers and trusted them.
